All your favorite characters will be back on October 31st.
We’re now halfway to Halloween 2017, which means we’re halfway to the premiere of “Stranger Things” Season 2 over on Netflix. The nine episode second season is perhaps the most hotly anticipated TV event of the year, at least for horror fans like ourselves, and thus far all we’ve seen is a brief teaser that played during the Super Bowl. So what can we expect from the return?
Speaking with Emmy Magazine, star Finn Wolfhard (IT) promised more horror!
I think this season will be a lot [darker]. A lot more horror oriented. I think people are going to like it more than the first season.
Wolfhard also noted that the threats this time around are more “disturbing.”
As teased in the Super Bowl spot, it looks like a (massive) new monster is arriving in the town of Hawkins this coming season, which is set just about one year after the events of Season 1. Joyce Byers has a new boyfriend (played by Sean Astin!) and Eleven, well, she’s apparently still alive. We’ve even learned that Dustin will have a pet monster from another dimension!
Confirmed for the second season are Sean Astin, Paul Reiser, Brett Gelman, Linnea Berthelsen, Dacre Montgomery, Rob Morgan, and Sadie Sink. They join the returning Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Natalia Dyer, and Charlie Heaton.
